Resolutions

Or maybe I should call it accountability. I'm not a big believer in New Year's Resolutions. I mean, I like resolving to do things. I just don't think it's necessary to wait until January 1st to do it.

And now I'm completely distracted by my dog, who has apparently gotten a piece of gum from somewhere. I'm not sure whether to wrestle it away from her or to just sit and be entertained.

And now the phone is ringing. How can I resolve anything with all this going on?

OK, so where was I? Oh, right, resolutions. I don't usually do them but I'm thinking maybe I should. I mean, I need to do all the regular things: exercise more, eat less, find more happiness in everyday moments, and work on getting our finances in better order (i.e. - save more, spend less). But, there are other things I need to work on, too. We are getting ready to start our home improvement projects. Which means I have lots to learn. And I can't wait! I also need to make more time for friends. I need to play more with my kids. I need to go to the doctor. I need to start a vegetable garden. There are a million billion things I want to do or need to do. So, I guess I'll think about it and consider making a short list of goals for the year. I'll have to get back to you on this...
